_______________ 'Kalynn Bayron does more than re-write a fairy-tale
... She breaks it apart and rebuilds it into a wholly original and
captivating story where girls finally decide for themselves who
lives happily ever after' - Brigid Kemmerer 'Brings much-needed
inclusivity and contemporary flavor to the teen fantasy genre' -
Kirkus Reviews 'A delicious mix of intoxicating fantasy and coming
of age, steeped in Greek mythology and peppered with references to
the Jordan Peele films Get Out and Us' - Observer New Review
_______________ Ever since she can remember, Briseis has had power
over plants. Flowers bloom in her footsteps and leaves turn to face
her as though she were the sun. It's a power she and her adoptive
mothers have spent her whole life trying to hide. And then Briseis
inherits an old house from her birth mother and suddenly finds
herself with the space and privacy to test her powers for the first
time. But as Briseis starts to bring the house's rambling garden
back to life, she finds she has also inherited generations of
secrets. A hidden altar to a dark goddess, a lineage of witches
stretching back to ancient times, and a hidden garden overgrown
with the most deadly poisonous plants on earth. And Briseis's
long-departed ancestors aren't going to let her rest until she
accepts her place as the keeper of the terrible power that lies at
the heart of the Poison Garden. Cinderella Is Dead author Kalynn
Bayron brings a message of proud inclusivity to this empowering
fantasy about a young woman finding the strength to challenge
everything she has been told is true. Don't miss the sequel, This
Wicked Fate, where to save the people she loves, Briseis must
change the most dangerous of fates ahead of her ...
